I loved when artists featured darker complexion women in their music videos. it made me feel seen as a young girl who got bullied for being darker.

Lauryn Hill just shared a moving tribute to the late D’Angelo:

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no
remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making
space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Someone made a supercut on TikTok of Diane Keaton crashing out at some point in all of her movies and we really need a lot more female rage in the culture

3 things I liked about Diane Keaton:

1. Her work as Kay in The Godfather was so underrated.
2. I remember how gross the press tour was for Something's Gotta Give because she dared to be 60+ and sexy in a movie (meanwhile Nicholson...) She handled it with such class.
3. She embraced aging.

It was inevitable that, without needed change and reform, the War on Terror would swing back to America

It’s the march of capitalism and its reliance on hidden and then overt authoritarianism. We can see where this is going by looking at what we did to others, and so we must band together with them

Joe Biden lost his bid for president 4 times and was a LAUGHINGSTOCK til Barack needed a moderate racist to cosign him to get to the White House.

And he only got elected because of people’s DESPERATION for “normalcy.” Not his policies.

And if people cant ADMIT THAT then we’re nowhere near

Hilary and Joe are seven-time certified losers, with just one win between them. The Clintons ruined the Democratic Party

I’m racist towards the white man who fought for segregation so his kids didnt have to go to school in “race jungles” and the woman who told her husband to bomb a small country before she took him back for his infidelity

Democracy takes work. You have to pay attention to things locally, nationally and internationally; go to occasional public meetings, call people out for being jackasses, etc.

Personal screens feeding you algorithm based content is super easy.

And that is why civilization is dying

Y’all dont want a functioning democracy.

You wanna feel like good people and forget that other people in the world exist and are willing to sacrifice whomever for your own comfort.

You’re just as selfish and delusional as Trump supporters.

A party that REFUSES to accept ANY critique is a fascist party. They are an arm of fascism.

But yall think your oppressor is only the snarling boogeyman tearing up the White House when it is also the giggling Democrat w/ the Pride flag waving from a B16 promising you 1 more vote will reverse this

The Democrats rode the largest anti-police movement in HISTORY straight to the White House and then IMMEDIATELY capitulated to the fascists and told the progressives who HANDED THEM their talking points for the presidency to fuck off.

And yall wonder yall losing.

1. The effects of strokes can be FULLY REVERSED within 2 hours if you get them immediate medical treatment

2. The fact that they felt comfortable alluding that it was okay to let a drug addict die in custody without medical attention is INSANE

He can’t because it doesn’t advance the longterm game plan.

Trump helped to change the trajectory of my life when he paused student loan debt interest accruals during COVID. That and Biden’s extension helped me be 1 year away from $137,000 paid off.

Thats not useful to him

Party’s never been united. Kamala Harris out here doing a sympathy tour blaming everybody from trans people to Hillary And Joe to anti-genocide protesters for her lack of common sense and leadership

Lynette @fishergirl.bsky.social · 3d

Good point.
I agree we need to address the "do nothing but voice objections". Just so long as we stay UNITED as a party, or else we will defeat ourselves.

I wonder, since these are state elected Reps/Sens, do they reflect the people's will or are they there bcuz of no better options in that state?
